Hi Jaime: So the process that's typically found is that someone who cares enough to start doing the work will submit a spec and RPM to bugzilla (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join ). If that person isn't already a packager they'll need to be sponsored. Perhaps someone will stand up from the message here, but generally Fedora (and by extension, EPEL) tends to be a scratch your own itch kind of place. As such, it's probably going to fall to you to at least start the work. I am not a packaging sponsor, but I can help you navigate the packaging guidelines and handle some reviews, and perhaps help you find a sponsor. Let me know if I can help, David Nalley _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
